Wow, Linkedin says that has been a doubling in hiring of Professor Emeritii. Does this mean I should stay retired because the job market is so good?

I am pleased to join the panel in an Environmental Law Institute breaking news webinar on the ramifications of the recently re-merger of BOEM and BSEE into the U.S. Marine Minerals Administration. July 30, free registration. 🌊 connect.eli.org/webmail/1088...

It was easy to cheat on something that invisible.

I keep getting these emails from Linkedin about Professor Emeritus job openings in the past week.

Powerful feature article by @alexlubben.bsky.social on rapidly heating Gulf of Mexico, driven by human-caused climate change, with enormous consequences for hurricane intensification & sea-level rise. Meanwhile, Trump wants to cut funding of observations. Gift 🔗 www.nola.com/news/environ...

Was "deep ocean turbulence" on your bingo card? Currents, eddies and internal wave in the world's ocean affect its productivity and climate through awesome processes. We are unravelling these mysteries, but "global ocean research is at risk" because of Trump's cuts and restrictions.

Mighty proud of my junior Senator and how she took on Russell Vought.

My eye was drawn to image of Mississippi Deltaic Plain on the GRL issue cover containing European heat wave paper. It relates to another paper on tracking river stage pulses from space. Other regional articles on CO2 emissions from LNG facilities & heat from Hurricane Ian. Everything's related!

Tump Administration accelerating closure of USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center is clear retribution to Maryland. 92% of 2000 public comments and many stakeholders oppose it. Unique facilities supporting American agriculture at risk. www.science.org/content/arti...

Thought for the day for aquatic and marine ecologists. "Who the hell puts in algae?"

Just like in the Gulf of Mexico, Washington D.C. has a big Dead Zone that is fueled by avarice and ignorance, with the algae just doing what they are supposed to do. robverchick.substack.com/p/the-reflec...

Many thanks to these former NOAA scientists for keeping all this hard work and useful information concerning climate change alive online despite the Trump climate science purge.

Maryland Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov said he was considering running for President. Based on my work with him over more than 30 years, he would be just what we needed to recover from Trump's damage to science, climate change action, and environmental protection. 💯% thehill.com/homenews/cam...
